Harbor View Hotel
Couples will truly feel like Cinderella and Prince Charming when they’re transported to their Harbor View Hotel reception in a horse-drawn carriage. The other perks that come with hosting your wedding here are numerous, but the majestic Vineyard location overlooking Edgartown Harbor and Lighthouse Beach takes the (wedding) cake. In addition to its luxurious ballroom, smaller spaces in the well appointed hotel accommodate more intimate affairs. The most iconic and memorable celebrations, however, take place under a tent on the Great Lawn amid English gardens. 131 N. Water St., Edgartown, MA 02539, harborviewhotel.com.
